There are thousands of great guide books to assist you with making the most of our tour. We do provide you with the logistics, the cooking classes and product tastings, a couple formal city tours, but the rest of sightseeing can be customized for your interests. Some people see one good cathedral or museum, and that’s enough. Others want several visits. Shopping may be a passion for one but not for another. History buffs may spend hours in sites with ancient ruins, but that may not appeal to all. So using a guide book that covers our major stops will expedite your experience and make for a more enjoyable trip.

You can check our Links page for some great websites as well.
